Was in Vegas for SEMA week and well, let's face it, as nice as it is to stay on the strip, sometimes it's nicer to get away from it. It's tucked away in one of the "Chinatown" strip malls on Spring Mountain. Unassuming at best, nestled on the corner across from a smoke shop.
Definitely call ahead for reservations. We called and they were fully booked but said we could come down and try. They don't turn away Walk-ins, as long as you're willing to wait up to an hour you can get seated.
I really came here with foie gras on mind. I've missed you my rich, indulgent fatty little bastard...off of a robata grill no less. Everything came off with that wonderful charcoal taste that you'll be burping up later to remind you how awesome your meal was.
My favorites enjoyed with a few bottles of Ginga Kogen:
- Foie Gras with Glazed Soy-base Sauce
- Foie Gras Don
- Kobe Beef Tendon
- Poached Egg with Sea Urchin and Salmon Roe
- Kobe Beef Fillet with Wasabi
- Scallops served sashimi style (daily special)
I was only really disappointed with the Yellowtail as they came out a bit dry and overcooked.
All in all one of my favorite places now in Vegas. Although if I were not feenin for that foie gras, I would definitely hit up another favorite spot down the street, Ichiza, for some more traditional izakaya. Might of been a bad idea to come here when so hungry, total damage with tax/tip/drinks came out to $115 per.
